You can buy a person’s hand, but you can’t buy their heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is. You can buy his back, but you can’t buy his brain. That’s where his creativity is, his ingenuity, his his resourcefulness.

You can retire from a job, but don’t ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.

You will never be able to truly step inside another person, to see the world as he sees it, until you develop the pure desire, the strength of personal character, and the positive emotional bank account, as well as the empathetic listening skills to do it.

Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce – to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That’s true financial independence. It’s not having wealth; it’s having the power to produce wealth.

Stephen Covey

Your personal mission statement should contain two basic parts: vision and principles. Vision deals with the mental picture of what you are about; principles deal with how you go about it.

Stephen Covey

Your planning tool should be your servant, never your master.
